2. This Week’s Famous Quote

Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.
~ Albert Einstein

3. Humans Don’t Need Different Diets

Micaela Karlsen, expert nutritionist with amazing credentials, sets the record straight about what humans should eat. Clearly, the mindset spread around that we should eat according to our race, blood type, etc. is nonsense! She states that humans, as a species, thrive on balanced plant-based diets; and that putting people in categories as far as what they should eat is very misguided.

4. This Week’s Bible Verse
(RSV) Mark 7:18-19

“Whatever one eats does not defile him (Mark 7:18-19). This passage reads, “And he [Jesus] said to them, ‘Do you not see that whatever goes into a man from outside cannot defile him, since it enters not his heart but his stomach and so passes on?’'"

This section actually relates to eating with unwashed “defiled” hands (Mark 7:1-5). Jesus then explained that the Pharisees were only concerned with what went into their mouths, but what really defiles a person are evil thoughts from the heart within.

5. No Meat, Eggs of Dairy? No Problem!

Barny Du Plessis, Mr. Universe 2014 and World champion bodybuilder, says he's a “100 percent whole-hearted warrior vegan.” At one point in his life was a believer that meat was necessary for his sport, but now realizes that a plant-based diet is ideal to build and maintain his strength, performance, and health.
